There is precedent for featuring outer material. I also think that in general the criterion for featurability should be the measure of "is the author a community member", not location of the material. It would be at least counterproductive to exclude known instances of good work from featuring because the author has had it stored elsewhere for a long time, especially since the point of featuring is partially to expose newcomers to, as it were, shining exemplars of the craft.

tl;dr I second this suggestion

(Ang's script is still under nomination from my side if ever she should resurface from her CS degree with enough free time to write a front-page blurb)

I'm physically here from time to time; sorry for not seeing this. This is partly because my computer(s) don't really like the forum from time to time and also because I'm finally just now settling down in my new degree program.

The issue is that I don't really have a blurb to provide (or things to link to, aside from my deviantART page), which is part of why I said March-ish. But I might be able to have something sooner: I'm working on a project right now that I might be able to turn into a tutorial-esque thing, among others.

And I'm working more or less full-time on my MA thesis right now, at least during the week. I know, excuses, exucuses, but meh. Other than that, I guess for a blurb I could just take the introductory paragraphs of what I have on my site, maybe slightly modify them to throw out the little bit of hot-steam in-world blah blah I've never cared to flesh out much, and throw together an image displaying the different styles I've come up with or something. That'd be like half a page of text if that's enough.

OK, I couldn't figure out how to make a post in my on-site blog because the blog function is hard-linked to my website. Here's a blurby text, though (~200 words):

Tahano Hikamu, literally the 'round script', is the script with which the Ayeri language is habitually written. Several stylistic variants have developed, sometimes drastically changing the overall appearance of the script. Tahano Hikamu works in a way similar to scripts found in India and elsewhere in Southern and Southeastern Asia – it is a syllabic alphabet, or abugida. This means that consonants serve as bases or matrices for the vowels, which in turn are written as diacritics. Writing out vowels is obligatory here, except for the vowel /a/, which isn't usually written if it's not a syllable onset, as it is the otherwise inherent vowel. The script is commonly written in horizontal lines from left to right, top to bottom, like the Latin alphabet. Its specialty is the fact that diacritics can appear above, below and even in front of consonant characters depending on whether other diacritics are already present in the respective positions. Depending on the position of the diacritic, its shape may significantly differ.

(You may have to resize that and maybe also recolor it to fit the needs of the front page)

I think it is again time to look for something else to put on the front page! Current strong contender is Comrade Twabs' entry into the Heterodoxy Series of conlanging advice, which gets my vote. However, since his work has graced the front page for several months already, alternatives are of course very solicited.

That might be a good idea. In the meantime, the Hikoomayii story happened, which, since we take ages here for anything anyway, could be moved to its own page somewhere and made the featured creation. I think we can all agree that it deserves to be that at some point.
